Title : Applicability of GMPLS and PCE to Wavelength Switched Optical Networks
Author(s) : G. Bernstein, Y. Lee
Filename : draft-bernstein-ccamp-wavelength-switched-00.txt
Pages : 16
Date : 2007-6-26
This memo examines the applicability of Generalized Multi-Protocol
Label Switching (GMPLS) and the Path Computation Element (PCE)
architecture to the control of wavelength switched optical networks.
In particular we investigate how WDM based systems consisting of
tunable laser transmitters and reconfigurable optical add/drop
multiplexers (ROADM) or Wavelength Selective Switches (WSS) can be
controlled with the current GMPLS/PCE protocols. Minor protocol
extension requirements are identified where necessary.
The three cases of full wavelength conversion, no wavelength
conversion, and limited wavelength conversion and their impacts on
GMPLS signaling, GMPLS routing, and PCE communications protocol are
discussed.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
